Player size changes mid-course

Okay I think I might know how/why it changes size but is there a way this doesn't have to happen - The first few slides do not have a side bar on them - but as soon as the slide (which happens to have the video on it) appears with the side menu - the browser resizes pushing critical player content off the screen.  Do I simply have to add a side bar to the opening pages so that when the course launches it sizes correctly form the beginning?  seems odd it would force slide content off screen vs resizing the entire area...

This is a known bug when you hide and reside the side bar, I reported and it goes back about 10 version

Please report it as bug fixes are no prioritised on how many reports they have

You are correct! The screen resizing is due to the first three slide not having a side menu and every slide after that does have a side menu. Thanks.  

I have two work around suggestions from Articulate - that work quite well - while they are working on a more permanent solution.

I propose two workarounds for this issue.

1. You can try enabling the option to "Sidebar starts collapsed." This option will prevent the bug from happening when the learners arrive at those slides. Learners could still access the narration by clicking the Here's a screenshot of where to find that: https://app.screencast.com/CV6i0VPCQa5bG
2. You can reset your slide using the "Zoom to fit" triggers. Here's a sample of what you must add to the first affected slide  - https://app.screencast.com/l9NcSDXHk6UA5
